Let’s Fill the Unicycle Closet for Fall and Winter!

Sylvan Park Families, we are filling our school closet – help us out by cleaning out your student’s closet! Donate any “outgrown, not worn out” items that fit our school dress code (polo-style shirts and khaki-style pants and shorts and jeans with no holes!) in the white laundry basket just outside the front doors. Any extras will go to @unicycle.nashville to fill other school closets or go direct to students in the Homeless Education Resource Office Program.
 
UniCycle collects SSA in sizes 3T (for pre-K) all the way to adult, so feel free to add any items that fall under SSA guidelines, including your own items!
Thank you for all your support, always!
